Biden warns against 'delegitimizing Israel as a Jewish state'

Vice President Joe Biden spoke at the AIPAC conference Monday, and expressed his country's commitment to Israel: "US President Barack Obama shares my commitment; we both know Israel faces new threats and uncertainties... The Arab Spring has required both Israel and the US to reassess the situation."

Biden addressed the dangers of the "seemingly coordinated effort to delegitimize Israel as a Jewish state," adding that Israel has the "right to defend itself." (Ynet)
